good afternoon all...
I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what to use to replace the rubber handle bar mounts as my bars seem to have developed a very distinctive clonk when I go over a bump and on inspection I found that the small runner mounts are very worm and that's allowing the bars to strike the mount when I go over a bump....I had seen somewhere about using rubber hose pipe sections but wasn't sure wether this was feasible or just a hair brained idea....and when I enquirered about replacements for said rubber I decided that I would try and find an alternative and maybe something that would make the bar travel less too.....
It's the 2 tines that are underneath the dash pad that go through the metal bracket that seem to be making the noise so these are what I need to replace and not the rubber mounts in the top yoke.
